Good F'in Morning

binary visions · Jun 14, 2005

Good morning.

Made the decision to buy a new computer last night. I can't afford to not have a backup from my laptop and I no longer trust my desktop, it's just too old and has had too many failures. So, it'll be nice to actually have a decent desktop but it's going to suck to lay out the money :dead:

Going to a sports awards thing tonight... Did I mention that my girlfriend's brother's baseball team won the state championships on Saturday? I had fun rafting, but wished I could have seen the game as well - supposedly it was pretty good!

I broke out the mower last night with the intention of getting everything done.

But the back yard was literally a foot deep in places. :mad:

I have to borrow a buddy's power mower today to finish it up.

Damn grass.

And they say we live in a semi-arid area.

Semi-arid my a$$.

Damn rain.

Good f'n morning. I am fine today. I think I will leave early and head to Austin for a mojo ride.

did a short road ride, hit the bike path & I was surprised there were others exercising (biking, running, jogging, r-blading, crewing) in this humidity

Why don't you come up for the GABF? I have a buddy who lives in Fort Worth and owns a brewery that's going to have a booth. We could ride and then go hang out at his table and get sloshed. :thumb:

I mowed last night, and it's been so long since we've had any decent rain there are places in the yard when I've got the mower running I'm fully engulfed in a nice brown cloud....

I thought AR is suppose to not be semi-arid.......... :confused:

Goddam. So *you* got our nice dry weather?? :mad:

Give it back.

I guess so. It's great for the trails (from what I've heard

) but hard on the ol lawn..........my water bill is giong to be through the roof this month if we don't get some decent rain.

Damn, where do you live? Here in NY the tomatoes are thriving as well - they look like it's July 14. not June 14, but no fruit yet.

It's so hot & steamy, I should be growing pineapples.

Colorado. It's semi-arid here. :mad:

Or supposedly so.

I cheat, though - I have a sunroom.

We're pretty lucky - even with all the rain, the trails stay in decent shape. Usually 24 hours of dry weather an we're back in business. :thumb:

good mornin all,
slow day yesterday.. i didnt even go out for a ride. i did however manage to get my heckler all tuned up for this weekend.

Crazy Sweeper · Jun 14, 2005

Nothing like having to manage the construction of a $3mil building to get you moving in the morning.....

Brian HCM#1 · Jun 14, 2005

I drank a beer last night with dinner, then went on a walk to the park with the family.

SilentJ · Jun 14, 2005

'mornin. first nice day to ride to work in the past 2 weeks. :mad:

Some little birdie had the suicide look in his eyes and went for it through my spokes at 28 mph :eek:

I don't think he felt a thing. Should be a pretty slow day at work today.

McGRP01 · Jun 14, 2005

Morning. Didn't do much yesterday. In fact, I did nothing. Ever have a day where you just can't seem to get motivated? That was me... Today, I gotta drive up to my parents and mow their lawn and I'm hoping to get out on a bike. (today is day 6 without riding, unless you count DH'ing

). Have a good day all.

Yes. Yesterday. So instead of riding or going to the gym, I spent three hours entertaining the dog.

ThePriceSeliger · Jun 14, 2005

My night was great. I had an amazing date and couldn't be happier! I had a quesadila(sp?) for dinner and it was pretty good also. I think I went to sleep around 3 A.M. I watched "The Longest Yard" last night and it was pretty damn funny. This morning I'm going to lay in bed because I told my boss I had a doctors appointment today but it is at 2 so I played hooky today.

Echo · Jun 14, 2005

Sup yall. No ride yesterday, gonna do a road ride after work today, then FINALLY tomorrow this heatwave is supposed to be over. WOOT.

Morning! F'n work! No AC at my school = :dead:

Oh well...only 2 more weeks left!

Went for a nice little group ride last night in the heat & humidity. Supposed to hit the club ride tonight before our bike club meeting, but I think I will be skipping to work on my bike....it's got lots of creaks and I am having some brake issues.

Got a couple of big storms last night so that was cool...other than that nothing much else is going on.

Countdown to MTBWeekend: 2 days!

3 million down by you... so, is that still made of cardboard walls, or for that money do you get into the nice drywalled buildings?

it's a metal building so it's just ABOUT cardboard.....

We entertained each other. Walks, pee breaks, dinner, treats, introducing her to a kiddie pool, watching some baseball, etc.

Hi everyone!!!

Hope your morning is going great. Gonna be a hot one today---95 degrees and about 90% humidity. Whew!!! Muy caliente.

Went to look for groomsmen outfits for our wedding last night. The wedding is on a boat, so the attire for the evening is really casual--we found some sweet silk shirts with real subtle martini glasses and palm trees on them that are gonna work perfect. Couple that with some sandals and white shorts, and you have a total Love Boat theme going on. It's gonna be a blast!!

Haven't decided if I'm going to brave the heat today for a ride, or not. We rode Sunday for several hours in it, and I've been wiped out since then. I think I just need to suck it up, and go ride.

...I decided to move the bulk of my home theater to the basement where it is nice and cool. The basement is unfinished, so it's not exactly pretty down there, but it works. And we are finally using the projector, screen and leather sectional we bought almost a year ago for this purpose. I love it down there... can't wait to get the sound dialed in.
....

JacksonI didn't know you were a home theater buff... what kind of projector? speakers? etc...

Not much going on today, work is f'in slow. But I don't care because I'm going to Italy this weekend!

As for later today, I'm just painting the nursury... I'm going to attempt a mural. This should be interesting!

You mean teaching her to go up and down? She's got them figured out!
